Meditation and...Crickets

This week I sat down to welcome the morning and thank God for one more day. I was not, however, the only one to be welcoming the day. Outside, various sounds - the symphony of birds and insects; inside, without tv, radio, computer or anything going, there was silence - almost.

There had been a few sightings of crickets inside the house before. Jonathan and I had some funny moments of shrieking laughter as we tried to get a plastic glass over the jumpy creatures and slide paper underneath so we could transport God's creatures safely outside. Privately, without my impressionable 5.5 year old son around, a rolled up newspaper worked j u s t fine.

However, one must have escaped our eyes, or re-entered, who knows where or how...and was now making itself known. Ahhh, a good chance to practice - "let all the sounds around you be a part of your meditation; accept them; release them; let them fall through fingers like sand and water...".

Welcome!

To blog is new for me. However, I am looking forward to this - I view it as a challenge. I will be writing about life, perspectives from the many vocations that God has called me to - mother, pastor, friend, seeker... I'm sure there will be times that you think, "She thinks that is interesting?" but hopefully there will be times that something hits home, moves you, widens your perception of God, gives you pause in a busy, busy life... Let me know your thoughts, comments, and questions (if I can figure out how to set that up, that is).
